...his song is a never ending ballad of wisdom & wit...ach laddie, we miss ye!...That was the title of the very first thread we did together. These are some special memories from his album, they really didn't need any captions.
That was pretty damn awesome! I missed alot ... I was around when he was, but not enough .. I only caught bits and pieces .....
It was very hard to lose such a wonderful person.
I really did not know him well. I just know that he welcoming to all that visited the board.
Once he asked me to make something for you because it was your birthday and I took you from your profile pic and put you on that motorcycle with Stephen and put a bandana on your head, lol. Sooo much fun. I think of that every time I see you.
Thank you so much!!!!That was the title of the very first thread we did together. These are some special memories from his album, they really didn't need any captions.
He friended me the first time I signed on here. I really didn't know him personally, but felt a friend just the same.
I had almost forgotten about that....It was so awesome and sweet for someone to go to that much trouble for me.Once he asked me to make something for you because it was your birthday and I took you from your profile pic and put you on that motorcycle with Stephen and put a bandana on your head, lol. Sooo much fun. I think of that every time I see you.
John D helped balance the crazy and ridiculousness we see from some here. His ability to put some in their place with one sentence posts was magical indeed.
Miss ya man.
Miss ya man.
Brevity is the soul of wit isn't as popular a saying as it is for no reason . ...
I didn't have an opportunity to get to know John very well. We only chatted a couple of times. He is definitely missed here. His passing changed this place in some ways. I know he is remembered fondly by all who knew him. 
Maddie, thanks for sharing...that was great!
Maddie, thanks for sharing...that was great!
....in the short passage of time I "knew" John, he struck me as a true Man for All Seasons....a philosopher, musician, humorist, level-headed, impish, a romantic and a flirt....certainly I wasn't as privy to his personal side as some were, but we had enough discourse that I count him among my dear friends....JD left a hole in this Ka-Tet that no-one will ever fill, but some of us strive to honor what he brought to this Board by our good thoughts and unceasing love.....
There is absolutely no doubt that the board was one thing when I came here, and something different the day he passed. It's still hella cool here, but a piece will always be missing. That's true for everyone that's been lost.I didn't have an opportunity to get to know John very well. We only chatted a couple of times. He is definitely missed here.

Scott's tribute to him at the first Kon was an emotional moment for all of us. Not a dry eye in there, including my friend Steve who didn't know any of you or John. Even he could see what he meant to everyone.
....thank you my friend.....
Thanks again to Maddie for keeping track of all John's stuff, music, and the like ....
That was the moment you all truly became family. Not something I'll ever forget.
He is singing the SKMB theme song.
"Someone else wrote the words for this and asked me to write the music. It's the only time I've ever done that on a song, and I was never very happy with it, but wothehell, archie, wotthehell, I thought I'd include it anyway.
Again recorded just with the webcam mike."
